Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The company’s estimates include, among others, asset reserve requirements as well as the amounts of future cash flows associated with certain assets and businesses that are used in assessing the risk of impairment. The negative impacts associated with the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic significantly lessened in 2022 and 2023. The extent and duration of negative impacts in the future, which may include inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, are uncertain and may require changes to estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2022, the FASB issued new guidance to require entities to disclose information about supplier finance programs. Among other things, the new guidance requires expanded disclosure about key program terms, payment terms, and amounts outstanding for obligations under these programs for each period presented. The company adopted some aspects of this guidance in 2023 using a retrospective method and will adopt other aspects in 2024 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the company’s disclosures; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent on the extent of arrangements of this nature entered into by the company.
In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to require entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive, including cash grants and tax credits. Among other things, the new guidance requires expanded disclosure regarding the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the nature, amount, timing, and significant terms and
conditions of transactions with a government arising from a grant or other forms of assistance accounted for under a contribution model. The company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s disclosures.
Acquisitions The company’s acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill, primarily due to expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses and the benefits that will be gained from the assembled workforces. These synergies include the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of the company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products and services; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of company products and services. Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
